I have been asked to help publicise the “Tell Us Your Story” campaign, which is a fantastic opportunity to recognise and reward people who you feel have really made a difference to someone or a community over the past year. Entries are submitted online at http://www.avivatellusyourstory.co.uk/
Launched by Aviva, for every entry they will donate ยฃ1 to the Street to School Programme – a global initiative with the aim of reaching 500,000 children worldwide, helping them get off the streets and back into education.
A weekly prize of ยฃ1000 will also be awarded to the local hero that captures the hearts of visitors to the site and receives the most votes. One overall winner will be chosen by a celebrity judging panel for a prize worth ยฃ10,000.

Not only is this a great way to recognise someone who has made a difference, but by nominating someone you will be making a difference in a child’s life to.
Did you know….
- 100,000 children under the age of sixteen run away from home every year in the UK
- 1 in 12 young runaways are hurt or harmed while they are away
- There are now only 5 refuge beds for runaway children in the whole of the UK
- 1 in 6 young runaways sleep rough
As a mum those facts are hard to swallow.
